Re: Pak V NZ 2nd Test.
Now lets see how BAZ ll be brave enough to give a target with RR 3.78 or 4 like Misbah gave them in last test.
Re: Pak V NZ 2nd Test.
Plenty of dotballs please... :D
Re: Pak V NZ 2nd Test.
44/1
latham gone
Re: Pak V NZ 2nd Test.
unless NZ plays Misbah or Pakistan bowls them out in next one and half session... we have a draw at hand... lots of blame for the draw on NZ as they played too slow and took to much time to put 400+ on the board.
Re: Pak V NZ 2nd Test.
Well reviewed by Pakistan...
NZ 78/3
Re: Pak V NZ 2nd Test.

Pakistan spinners doing good job…Azhar Ali should be tried too… :k:
Re: Pak V NZ 2nd Test.

2 for babar and two for Yasir. 
Re: Pak V NZ 2nd Test.
NZ would aim for at least a lead of 250 before declaring if not bowled out...

Re: Pak V NZ 2nd Test.
NZ would look to bat til lunch tomorrow, and lead of around 300.
Re: Pak V NZ 2nd Test.
5 down with a lead of 135

Baba ji took another wicket 
Re: Pak V NZ 2nd Test.
New Zealand lead by 176 runs with 4 wickets remaining
Re: Pak V NZ 2nd Test.
NZ would look to bat til lunch tomorrow, and lead of around 300.
With 4 wickets in hand can they stretch the lead to 300?
Also will they be able to bat fast to reach a lead of 300 by lunch?
Re: Pak V NZ 2nd Test.
Lets hope we get them by 225 and then chase it as was done against SL to have 4 wins in a row
Re: Pak V NZ 2nd Test.
What a brilliant knock by Sarfaraz 
I wasn’t sure if our tail would be able to help him reduce the lead to only 10 but great job by Rahat Ali in supporting Sarfaraz.
If Kiwis can survive till lunch then the lead would be around 250-260ish which would mean Pakistan to play ~60 overs for 250-260 target, which may be doable depending on how much the pitch deteriorates.
Re: Pak V NZ 2nd Test.
Lets see how bravely Kiwis will play for a result. If Pakistan able to restrict then below 225 then it will be gettable total else 5th day pitch will be very dangerous. But Pakistan has played superably especially Sarfraz and Rahat.
Good Luck Pakistan

Re: Pak V NZ 2nd Test.
How did Sarfraz manage to score a century? I mean on the other side they hardly score few runs while he himself scored a ton. Bravo!
Re: Pak V NZ 2nd Test.
Happened to watch the game when he went from 32 to 49. Then kindle battery ran out.
He was hitting fluently. Babar at other end looked to get out every ball.
Am amazed he reached 112.
Greatest rearguard action since asif Iqbal and I think Iqbal qasim in Australia against lillee et al.
